Brown Buttered Eggnog Bread

Nothing says Christmas like eggnog. We’ve made our own, and now we are baking with this popular holiday drink.

This Christmas morning you can drink your eggnog for breakfast as well as eat it. The bread definitely has an eggnog flavoring to it, but it’s not overwhelming or overpowering, and the texture of the bread is really smooth. My favorite part was a random little pocket in the top center that stayed extra moist and was saturated with a little extra eggnog flavor. I’m not sure what happened there, if was a little underbaked and needed to be in the oven a little longer or what, but I definitely saved that part of my slice to eat last!
